Or maybe even peddle?Actually, all three apply.The baby blue 1963 Ford pickup truck is a pop-up florist able to travel to farmers markets, street festivals and any number of corporate events and public gatherings.It’s an idea that bloomed when Kelsey Sizemore and her husband, Josh, saw similar flower operations outside of Alabama.“We had seen a couple of similar businesses in other cities and we thought it was something that Birmingham would really love,” Kelsey Sizemore said.If you’re going to have a flower truck, it has to start with the truck.“We started by looking at trucks on Craigslist and eBay,” Sizemore said. “We decided on the kind of truck that we liked.”[embedded content]Wild Honey Flower Truck is blooming in Birmingham from Alabama NewsCenter on Vimeo.When they found a potential truck in Ohio, Sizemore sent her father-in-law to check it out.

Flower Shuttle brings new life to used arrangements - WRAL.com

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

By Rick Armstrong, producer and Gerald Owens, anchor/reporterRaleigh, N.C. — Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, weddings and funerals keep many florists in business. When the heartfelt emotions that the flowers convey are over, it's typically time for the flowers to be carted off to the dump.Now, "The Flower Shuttle" organizers and volunteers delay that trip to the landfill so that those flowers have another chance to shine.Every Tuesday morning, Raleigh Moravian Church becomes a recycling center for those blooms that have yet to lose their full appeal."Nothing of potential value in the operation is wasted," volunteer Mary Currin explained as she pointed to buckets of flower tubes, rubber bands and preservative packets. "So we recycle the flowers plus the things that come with the flowers."Whether flowers come from florist shops or grocery stores, once they are past their expiration date, the blooms cannot be sold. Flower shuttle regulars are always ready to intervene and breathe new life into the bouquets.Katherine McVey helps coordinate the volunteer effort at the church. She says many of them were once paid to do what they... https://www.wral.com/flower-shuttle-brings-new-life-to-used-arrangements/18431878/

How does Encore Boston Harbor keep its flowers so fresh? Meet the shrub whisperer - The Boston Globe

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

The top-end rooms have even more greenery.All the casino resort’s plant razzle-dazzle isn’t something you can just go and buy at Mahoney’s. Chadwick and his team of gardeners, florists, supervisors, and managers plan and plan and plan, he said.AdvertisementThey purchase flowers about a year in advance and work with a range of vendors to bring plants to bloom: seed companies, propagators, and growers.“None of these are flowers that you can just go buy off the shelf somewhere,” he said in the Encore Boston Harbor lobby not far from some of his workers, who were adding fresh yellow and orange arrangements. “You start talking about 4,000 flowers every two weeks — there are not a lot of places that can do that.”Walking through the casino’s front entrance, Chadwick explains the thinking behind the thick-leaf blend of yew and Japanese white pine nearby (a pleasant look for people being dropped off on one side; a protection for outdoor diners at the fancy Sinatra restaurant from the glare of headlights on the other).Brilliant floral beds formed a carpet around a trio of sculptures.(David L. Ryan/Globe Staff)The son of a landscape designer and a landscape installer, Chadwick regales you with the story of some of the 89 Scotch pines, all dug up in far-flung places, trucked to Everett and placed just so for the right Wynn Resorts look. Chadwick speaks with joy about the weeping cherries and Taylor junipers, about how he has a desk, but “most of the time, my office is out here.”He tells you about tree number one, an autumn splendor maple, that stands as a marker of the site’s transformation from a polluted former Monsanto chemical factory to a high-end casino resort. (He doesn’t mention the Exelon power station that is still across the street.)AdvertisementHe explains how to build a six-and-a-half-acre park after cleaning up loads of toxic waste: planting the trees, then putting in the walkways, layering in shrubs, and installing irrigation.And he describes the awe he feels seeing the property filled with people, finding serenity in the natural landscape he helped create.He encourages you to walk the property.And so you find your way to the harborwalk near the river and you look toward Boston. You can’t even tell you’re standing right next to a casino, with all its beeping and flashing slots, hoots and ... https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/08/18/everett-casino-charge-green/0IdI0WQBNr1CF6KiDWeYtM/story.html
